Brief Summary

This pilot study MOKHA is aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of HYMOVIS® on cartilage of patients suffering of knee osteoarthritis as revealed by using scientifically sound, objective measurement...

Detailed Description

This study is a post-marketing, open-label, prospective and multicentric pilot study in 50 patients suffering from knee OA. Investigators will be rheumatologists or articular disease specialists from ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male or female between the age of 40 and 80 with BMI ≤ 40
  • Monolateral (unless contralateral knee is grade I and asymptomatic) femorotibial knee OA associated or not with femoropatellar knee OA
  • Responding to clinical and radiological criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) (Appendix 1)
  • Symptomatic for more than 6 months in the most painful knee
  • Radiological Kellgren \& Lawrence (K\&L) II or III in radiographs from less than 12 months (Appendix 2)
  • Mean knee pain score at rest over the last 24 hours evaluated on VAS (0-100) ≥ 40 (Appendix 3) with a washout period for Paracetamol and oral NSAIDs depending on the half-life of the drug (Appendix 4). The most painful knee is considered.
  • Able to follow the instructions of the study
  • Having signed an ICF

Exclusion

  • Related to the OA pathology
  • Bilateral (except asymptomatic and grade I) OA of the knee
  • Radiological K\&L grade I or IV (Appendix 2)
  • Chondromatosis or villonodular synovitis of the knee
  • Recent trauma (\< 1 month) of the knee responsible of the symptomatic knee
  • Acute inflammatory OA (KOFUS (Knee Osteoarthritis Flare Up Scale) score ≥ 7, Appendix 5)
  • Articular disease resulting from articular dysplasia, aseptic osteonecrosis, acromegaly, Paget's disease, hemophilia, hemochromatosis….
  • Inflammatory disease i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, gout, infectious arthritis, acute calcium pyrophosphate arthritis
  • Pathologies interfering with the evaluation of OA (radiculalgia in the lower limbs, arteritis…..)
  • Presence of another joint (other than the target knee) affected by OA (confirmed in radiographs and symptomatic)
  • Related to treatments
  • Corticosteroids injection in the target knee in the last month before first injection
  • Hyaluronan injection in the target knee in the last 6 months before first injection
  • Arthroscopy and surgery in the target knee in the last 6 months before first injection
  • Oral corticotherapy ≥ 5mg/day (in Prednisone equivalent) in the last 3 months before first injection
  • OA treatments based on curcuma extract (e.g. FLEXOFYTOL) in the last 3 months before first injection
  • Change in the dosage of SYSAD i.e. chondroitin, glucosamine, diacerein or avocado-soy unsaponifiables in the last 3 months before first injection
  • Paracetamol and oral NSAIDs before inclusion and follow-up visits (washout period depending on the half-life of the drug, Appendix 4).
  • Osteoporosis-related treatments based on strontium ranelate, selective estrogen-receptor modulator (SERM) and parathormone (PTH) in the last 12 months before first injection
  • An anticipated need for any forbidden OA treatments during the trial
  • Contraindications to HYMOVIS®: hypersensitivity to the product components and infections or skin diseases in the area of the injection site.
  • Non-pharmacologic therapy (including physical therapy) for the lower extremities initiated in the month before first injection
  • Anticoagulant (coumarinic compound) and heparin
  • Related to associated diseases
  • Severe diseases (liver or renal failure, lung/heart disease, tumor, HIV….)
  • Allergy or contra-indication to hyaluronan
  • Severe alteration of mobility enabling functional evaluation
  • High risk of hemorrhage and risk of infection at the site of injection
  • Anticipated need for any surgical or other invasive procedure during the trial including prosthesis in the target knee
  • Related to patients
  • Participation to a therapeutic clinical trial in the last 3 months before first injection
  • Under guardianship or judicial protection
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, planned conception, premenopausal women without contraception, tubal ligation or hysterectomy
  • Related to MRI counter-indication
  • Patient with a pacemaker, an implantable defibrillator, neurosurgical clips, a neurostimulator, cochlear implant, a stent from less than 3 weeks, an insulin pump
  • Patient with a ferromagnetic splinter in the body, or having wire sutures
  • Serious mobility problem (Parkinson, tremors),
  • Claustrophobia
